Sir Alex Younger, former Chief of and one of Britain’s most influential intelligence leaders of the modern era, has died at age 62.

Per news sources: His family confirmed that Sir Alex died in Boston in the early hours of Tuesday morning after being diagnosed with cancer last year. He was widely regarded as a steady, principled, and deeply respected figure in British intelligence, serving as Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, the role known as “C” - from 2014 to 2020, making him the longest-serving MI6 chief in 50 years.

Sir Alex’s career spanned some of the most consequential security challenges of the post–Cold War and post-9/11 eras.

He served in the Balkans in the 1990s, was stationed in the Middle East, and later served as head of the MI6 station in Kabul, Afghanistan. He became a central figure in Britain’s counterterrorism efforts, including his appointment as head of counterterrorism in 2009, and later advised the prime minister on intelligence and national security through the National Security Council.

Known for his sharp intellect, moral seriousness, and strategic clarity, Sir Alex repeatedly warned of the growing threats posed by hostile states, cyber warfare, terrorism, and technological competition.

He urged intelligence services to adapt rapidly, arguing that modern national security would depend not only on human courage and tradecraft, but on the ability to harness evolving technology faster than adversaries.

In retirement, he remained an important public voice on international security, global conflict, cybersecurity, and democratic resilience. His death marks the loss of a significant figure in world intelligence, a man whose work was often hidden from public view, but whose service shaped the security of the United Kingdom and its allies for decades. 🇬🇧

One year ago today, Marine Corporal Eddie Forrest II took his last breath.

The weight had become too heavy.

Eddie was a machine gunner with 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment. He deployed to Anbar Province, Iraq, where 3/3 suffered 13 killed in action and more than 90 wounded while conducting more than 8,000 patrols.

He later redeployed during the surge in Marjah, Afghanistan, serving seven months through 92 firefights, with 174 enemy killed in action reported.

Eddie came home.

He left the and began building a life as a civilian. He met his wife, Megan. They had their son, Bodhi. He opened his own company, Southern Glass & Metal.

He laughed.
He smiled.
He joked.
He enjoyed living.

Until the weight became too much.

Until he could not escape it.
Until he could not catch his breath.

Until the burden war leaves behind became more than he could carry.

Eddie’s memory is a stark reminder that pain is not always visible. Sometimes the ones who laugh the hardest, smile the biggest, and seem the strongest are carrying battles no one else can see.

Today, we remember Eddie not only for how he died, but for how he lived, as a Marine, a husband, a father, a friend, a Cowboys fan, and a man deeply loved by those who knew him.

May his life remind us to check on our people, to listen more closely, and to never assume someone is okay simply because they look strong.

And today, on his one year anniversary of his passing, NASCAR driver, proudly shares Eddies name on the driver side front window of the No. 71 Chevy car 🏁

Rest easy, Eddie.
You are remembered.
And most importantly, you are not forgotten.

SOF Week was INSANE, and we may have set the all-time cancer screening record in such a short amount of time! 😆

We weren’t exactly sure how the night at Jackson’s in Tampa was going to go — and then the doors opened… an hour early.

Packed. Jam packed. Wall-to-wall with the SOF community, veterans, friends, partners, and people who genuinely care about changing the way we approach military health and cancer prevention.

Over just three hours, everyone came out in absolute force, helping provide upwards of 80+ cancer screenings for at-risk military veterans… and the results are rolling in.

🔹On Monday, our clinical team hung out with and while also completing 10 in-depth health assessments for SOF veterans on site, with about a dozen more already being scheduled for follow-up. That is what early detection, prevention, and real action look like.

And because it was SOF Week… of course it wasn’t just a screening event.

signed limited-edition SOF whiskey 🥃

The room was electric and overwhelmingly packed

But most importantly, The mission of saving as many military veterans from preventable cancer deaths was front and center. 🇺🇸

We also made our rounds across SOF Select — crashing the / booth for some cancer screenings, we visited with our lifesaving partners at , and , and reconnecting with so many people who continue to show up for this community in a major way.

This work does not happen because of one person, one organization, or one night.

It happens because of a team.

To 5by5 Performance Therapy, ALLTRU, SOWW, and every partner, volunteer, provider, donor, veteran, and family member who helped make this happen: thank you.

To those who made donations, and sponsored the event (without breaching HIPAA), YOU HELPED US SAVE LIVES THROUGH EARLY DETECTION…

SOF Week reminded us exactly why we do this.

Screen early.
Ask questions.
Show up for the people who showed up for all of us.

More lifesaving to come, Always. 🖤

It is here. An open conversation from the Command. What Col. John Detro and the late Col. April Verlo and team started years ago has come to fruition.

➡️ The SOF Cancer Study ⬅️

From 2001–2024, researchers evaluated more than 231,000 SOF personnel and compared them with more than 5.1 million non-SOF service members.

The findings were eye-opening, but also, somewhat expected. SOF personnel had a statistically significant:

🔸18% higher incidence of any malignant cancer
🔸33% higher incidence of melanoma
🔸21% higher incidence of testicular cancer

Among SOF cancer cases, the most common evaluated cancers included testicular cancer, melanoma, thyroid cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and brain/central nervous system cancers.

🚩The study does NOT prove that SOF service causes cancer by any means. It is much deeper than that.

But it does show that the cancer signal is real enough to demand (proactive) attention.

The report also found that prostate cancer cases were diagnosed younger than non-SOF cases, being a prime example, and lung/bronchus cancer cases were diagnosed younger as well, to include the late, great, Medal of Honor recipient,

That matters.

Because in military medicine, we cannot keep treating young, high-performing operators and veterans as “too healthy” to be sick. The absence of obvious illness is not the same as the absence of risk.

Since 2021, we’ve screened approximately 950+ Special Operations veterans and service members for cancers and other chronic medical conditions, identifying abnormalities and concerning trends related to cancer in nearly 1 in 3.

The truth is, majority of cancers CAN BE PREVENTED, and along with early identification, we are dedicated to making a cancer-free future for military veterans and service members (to include SOF).

🔸 Key points to drive home from SOCOM:

- Be proactive in your health and wellness. Do not ignore symptoms.

- Advocate for earlier screening, detection.

- Maintain routine screenings, colonoscopies, PSA testing, mammograms, skin checks, etc.

- Reduce your risk! Manage stress, maintain a healthy diet, avoid to***co and alcohol.

At HunterSeven, remembrance has never been limited to the battlefield.

We honor those killed in action, the men and women who never came home, whose final act of service became a lifetime of grief for the people who loved them.

But we also remember those who did come home, and were still taken from us far too soon.

The ones lost to cancer years after their last deployment.

The ones lost by their own hand after fighting battles no one else could see.

The ones whose war followed them into their homes, their bodies, their minds, and their futures.

We remember them not by the way they died, but by the way they lived.

Their humor.
Their grit.
Their loyalty.
Their service.
Their families.
Their stories.

The empty chairs they left behind.

The names we still say out loud, the photos and stories we share.

This is why HunterSeven exists… because service does not end when the uniform comes off, and neither should our responsibility to those who wore it alongside us.

Not just around the time of Memorial Day, but every day, we honor the fallen, the lost, and the loved.

Most importantly, we live each day with purpose worthy of their sacrifice 🇺🇸

🎖️Two days ago, Raider Aaron Sekulov received his stem cell transplant from an 8-out-of-8 HLA donor match, the closest thing to a perfect match!

He is hospitalized, doing well, and in positive, fighting spirits.

And while this may feel like a “mission accomplished” moment, it is more like winning Game 2 of the World Series.

🥇Win #1: Aaron’s second round of chemotherapy successfully pushed him into remission.

🥈Win #2: A successful donor match was found, and the transplant is now complete.

⏩ But there are still two major wins ahead.

Right now, Aaron has little to no immune system.

Days 0 through 14 after transplant are critical.

His blood counts are still extremely low, in some cases, nearly non-existent… which means he remains hospitalized under strict neutropenic precautions while his body waits for the donor cells to begin making new, healthy blood cells.

That process is called engraftment.

The one-month mark will be a major checkpoint.

But the real World Series victory comes between Day 100 and the 12-month mark: when Aaron’s new immune system continues to rebuild, stabilize, and prove it can hold the line.

Since this journey began, more than 2,000 people have stepped forward to swab in support of Aaron.

More than $50,000 has been donated and earmarked directly for Aaron’s treatment and recovery process, including housing and rent, transportation, whole-health support, fitness equipment, alternative therapies, and other critical needs that help him fight beyond the hospital walls.

This is not over.

But Aaron has already won two massive rounds, so continue to keep Aaron, his wife and their pups in your thoughts and prayers while he continues to battle 🇺🇸🏆
